In the question period there was considerable interest in the Town of Newcastle Hydro system with many asking if rural hydro- ratés would be coming in line with the rates in- Bowmanville, Orono and Newcastle. It was pointed out through the questions m-v rural rates src upwards of twenty-five percent higher than urban rates.

Douglas Simpson, candidate for ■ Hydro Commission. Mainstream Canada End the name-calling By W. Roger Worth Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me. That old adage may carry some weight in personal relationships, relationships, but the ridiculous name-calling eminating from the mouths of our major politicians is undoubtedly hurting the country. In fact, the war of words has reached such a crescendo that any good mother would wash out her child's mouth with soap for dealing in the kind of petty name-calling that has become front-page news. Roger Worth is Director, Public Affairs, Canadian Federation of Independent Business. It's no secret that Premiers Bennett,' Lougheed, Peckford and Levesque don't personally personally like the Prime Minister, and the same may be said of some other provincial premiers. If the truth be .known, the reverse is probably ■true. ' But surely Canadians elect politicians to represent their various and many times clashing views. As it stands, many of our leaders appear to be using their positions as a national soapbox to deal with *' personal likes and dislikes. Certainly there are some very real issues worth fighting about during discussions on constitutional and other matters. matters. And Canada's leaders would be derelict if they didn't present well-reasoned arguments arguments to support or reject their positions. But it's high time our politicians politicians - including those at the federal level - started acting a little more like statesmen and less like bully boys on a local schoolyard. Name calling only exacerbates exacerbates the differences, making solutions to our problems even harder to find.
